Last updated: September 2026 dataThe telescopic shaft — a collapsible, multi-section pole that allows the umbrella to compact for pocket or bag carry — is the defining mechanical feature that places personal umbrellas in this heading rather than the residual 660199 line. China overwhelmingly dominates supply, with Cambodia and Vietnam as secondary sources. The telescopic mechanism adds component complexity compared to fixed-shaft designs, and quality-control documentation on the shaft's collapse-and-lock mechanism is a recurring concern for retail buyers managing product liability.

The classification turns on whether the shaft (stick) is designed to collapse into itself via a sliding, multi-section telescopic mechanism. A fixed-length shaft — even if the canopy folds — does not qualify. Importers should retain product specifications and engineering drawings that confirm the shaft's telescopic construction in case of a CBP inquiry.
Cambodia's growth in this category reflects broader apparel and light-manufactured-goods production capacity built up over the past decade, combined with lower labor costs relative to China. However, CBP has scrutinized origin claims for goods assembled in Cambodia using Chinese-origin components, so importers should ensure that substantial transformation occurs in Cambodia to support a valid country-of-origin declaration.
